It is being developed by the pharmaceutical company Reunion Neuroscience.[6]  As of 2024, FT-104 is entering Phase II clinical trials for post-partum depression.[7]

Pharmacology

edit

FT-104 is a prodrug that is converted into the psychedelic tryptamine 4-HO-DiPT upon administration.[1][8]  4-OH-DiPT then acts as an agonist on the serotonin 2A receptor which leads to an antidepressant effect.[6]
